The Hama Basic USB 2.0 OTG card reader is a compact way to move files between memory cards and a computer, notebook, smartphone or tablet. It suits people who want to transfer photos and other files directly from SD or microSD cards, including users of compatible Android devices with a micro USB port.

Its two plug types make it useful across different devices: a USB Type-A plug connects to PCs and notebooks, while the micro USB Type-B plug supports host/OTG compatible smartphones and tablets. The reader supports standard SD, SDHC and SDXC cards as well as microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC formats. With OTG support, compatible mobile devices can access a card without first transferring its contents to a computer.

Compatibility

It is specified for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and XP, and Mac OS 9.x or higher. For mobile use, the device needs to support USB host/OTG and have a micro USB interface; Android 4.0 or later is specified. Use memory cards formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, and do not use both plugs simultaneously. Good to know: check your phone or tablet’s OTG support and port type before buying, as this reader’s mobile plug is micro USB rather than USB-C.
